Suggest Tests To Diagnose Bone Fracture After A Forehead Injury

Two weeks ago my 6 year old daughter banged her head. She had a huge lump on her forehead that was about 2-3 inched in diameter. As far as I am aware, she did not loose consciousness and no vomiting. The swelling has gone away, and the bruise has faded. Her doctors were not too concerned and did no evaluation/no imaging.My concern, is today when helping her get ready for bed, I was rubbing her forehead, and it felt like there might be a crack in the skull. Is that something that needs to be addressed?

HI
I would get skull x-rays just to cover the bases here but it's very unlikely she has a skull fracture
